During a discussion.....

Serf & I we chatting about odd things, and this one popped up "I'm going to them you how its going to be", which led to the Stones, in turn led to this gem....

Indoor League.........

I very vaguely remember the late Sir Freddie Trueman sauntering about with half of mild (in a barrel glass) and his pipe close to hand, extolling the virtues of indoor sports, bar billiards, darts sans les treble bits, shove 'apenny et al.

Here's a gem, watch and be enthralled at the excitement of Taffy John banging the cue ball up and down the table, it's like poetry in motion, granted bad poetry but poetry none the less.



And in this gem we get to actually see several things of note, 1: a dodgy comb over from Our Freddie, and 2: the gripping final for a oneer of shove a round thing up a plank of wood and put chalk marks on it.



Saving the best till last, this is Sid Waddell waffling about the wholesome joy of Indoor League, please watch it to the end, for 1 thing and 1 thing alone. Ahl Sitha!!!



Cheers

Hhmmm 2:30am, not in bed thinking about HP cartridges, I need a strong sedative.

Addicted........

Not only is it a stunning Saw Doctors song, I am like 9 million of other people, I have an addiction to something hitherto untouchable, you can smell it, you can’t taste it your cant physically touch it either.
What is it? A game, yes dear readers I play a game that involves stupid amounts of time to gain to what someone who doesn’t play World of Warcraft would call “things”

However after battling over 70 character levels (twice and now on for a third time), spending more in-game money than is imaginable I noticed something the other night.

In WoW you have quests to do, which you basically trot around WoW islands killing things, picking things up or speaking to someone. Then you have 5/ 10/ 25/ 50 person instances, where a group of like minded individuals with their bunch of desperado toons join up and tackle some hard things. An instance as the name would suggest is “happening” hardly Woodstock, but nonetheless a happening.
One of the Big Instances is Karazhan, which tests your metal, you need some good gear and a sound understanding of the class you play. You need a specific group of class’s to be successful.

Enough, the point is. Morose is the 2nd of 10 Boss’s in Karazhan, so after we bad him night night in the room I noticed a statue that looks to be familiar.

Have a look see if you can spot the famous person.

Crivens......

I'm sorry; I have been very remiss in my blogging activity.
Several reasons, each more and more ludicrous than the last.
1: Saving the world from tyrannical mice.
2: Resurrecting the potential theory of sweeties actually being able to assist weight loss.
3: Taking reason number 2 and advancing it further by testing the possible weight loss scenario by adding highly sugared fruit based fizzy drinks.
4: Gout.
5: Rain.
6: Rain & Gout at the same time.
7: Gout with slight precipitation on a Thursday, just as I was about to write something exhilarating.
8: More of number 1, little swine’s they are.
9: Watching the telly. Rediscovering Rab C Nesbitt. (Wiki on Rab)





The man himself.

10: Developing reasons 2 & 3 by adding Bourbon Creams (This, you’ll appreciate is an ongoing study. Possibly becoming a lifetimes work)
11: Thinking (I have been told not to do this by several people, by and large I do actually avoid it, but sometimes you just can’t help it.

12: Sweeping up grass, again this is a lifetime’s work. (I may publish a guide to Grass Sweeping Etiquette)
13: There is no 13 (A weak reference to whom? It’s the wrong number by the way, it should be 6, there is no rule 6)
14: Following on from number 13, trying to track down this “
First Bruce: This here's the wattle - the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle or you can hold it in your hand.
All: Amen!”
15: Erm that’s about it really.
I shall return, as I have made a note for topics to waffle about.

Earthquake......

Well as much of the country felt the tremors last night 27/02/08 in the UK.

Sat at home with my beloved, watching some quality TV we felt the house move, it felt as if the whole house had been picked up and moved 3 feet forward.

Loads of news about it, happily no serious injuries, apart from a poor lad in Barnsley who was caught under some masonary.

But, heres something that I'm not sure is a joke, an oversight or what, you decide.
